Default Magnetic Ride control in 4th gen?

Curious if anyone has considered, or indeed pulled off an install of the GM magnetic ride control in a 93-02 F-body? Sounds like a cool idea. Anyone have any knowledge they could share on the concept?

I do not think the ECU has that capacity to control them, or the correct sensors to make it function. There wouls be way more parts than just the shocks to make it work. I am sure it is not impossible, but probably cost prohibitive.

It would be super costly to adapt, once you factor in all the modules and sensors. Not to mention they are programmed for a completely different car with different weight, spring rates, and damping needs. GM spends millions just to get the programming right for every car.

Still would be awesome to have though, it's a great technology.
